Default Fiber wads

Good Morning Gentlemen

Does anyone on here load with fiber wads?? I tried to load a couple with a plastic wad recipe and it takes a lot of wad and still didn't fill up my 2 1/2 in 12 gauge shell. I put 15 gn. of 700x and then a 1/8 card I think it was, then 2, 1/2 inch wads then 7/8 shot and still wasn't enough to fill it up. Is there a limit to how much you can put in one of these? Does fiber wads increase the recoil because there isn't anything like a plastic wad to collapse? I heard that the pressures decrease with fiber ? Any wisdom from a some with experience with these wads would be much appreciated
